In Saturday's win over Holsten Kiel, Harry Kane scored his fifth Bundesliga hat-trick, helping Bayern Munich to a 6-1 win. With it, he broke yet another Bundesliga record - as he reached 50 Bundesliga goal contributions in just 35 games, beating Erling Haaland's previous record of 43.

That was after his second goal as well, so he is now on 51 goal contributions in a mere 35 games as the Bayern number nine continues to improve into his thirties. Let's take a look at his other records, regarding Bayern, the Bundesliga, and personally, since he moved to Bavaria a little over a year ago.

The records Harry Kane has broken since joining Bayern Munich

To begin with, before he had even kicked a ball for Bayern - he became Bayern's and the Bundesliga's record signing. At a reported fee of around 100 million euros, he overtook Lucas Hernandez (80 million Euros) for both the club and the Bundesliga's most expensive signing.

Another record was set before Harry Kane kicked a ball. The day he signed for the club, the 12th of August 2023, he broke a Bayern Munich record for shirt sales in one day, selling over 10,000 in shops and online.

His first on-pitch record took just five games. His seven goals in his first five Bundesliga games broke the joint record of five that had been shared by Gerd Muller (1965), Miroslav Klose (2007), and Mario Mandzukic (2012).

His 15 goals in the first 10 Bundesliga games broke Klaus Matischak's record of 13 for most goals in the first 10 games.

Kane's brace against Stuttgart in December meant he was the quickest player to reach 20 Bundesliga goals in a season - doing so in just 15 games - breaking Uwe Seeler's record of 21 games from 1963/64.

With his goal against VFL Bochum in February, he broke Luca Toni's record for most Bundesliga goals in a debut season for Bayern Munich, making it 25 league goals.

The same goal meant he had broken Erling Haaland's record for fewest games needed to score 25 goals, with Kane doing it in 22 games, whilst Haaland did it in 25.

His 22 league goals at the Allianz Arena beat his personal record of 17 league goals at home in a season, which he achieved in 16/17 for Spurs.

With his 31st league goal of the season against Darmstadt, he had beaten his personal best for goals in a league season, having scored 30 goals in the 17/18 and 22/23 seasons.

His assist for Mathys Tel against Union Berlin was his 51st goal contribution of the season, beating his 20/21 personal best of 50 with Spurs.

Kane's second goal against Frankfurt in April was his 42nd goal of the season, a new personal best after scoring 41 in 17/18.

The 36 Bundesliga goals Kane scored last season was the most ever by a player in their debut season - another record that used to belong to Seeler (30).

Over the 23/24 season, Kane had the best minutes per goal record in the top five leagues, scoring every 78.9 minutes. It also saw him win his first ever European Golden Boot award, scoring more goals than anyone in a European league.

There are still so many more, but with the pure proficiency of the England captain, we could be here all day.
